UH's Postma proves to be fast learner in move from QB to WR

A week ago, Kyle Postma's practice routine consisted of taking mental reps as the third-team quarterback for the University of Houston.

All that would lead to his role on game day - clipboard holder.

As the season got closer and depth at wide receiver became an increasing concern, UH coach Tom Herman and his staff combed the roster looking at every option, eventually deciding to give the athletic 6-3, 205-pound Postma a try at receiver.

"If he can go in there and learn and provide some quality depth, it's better than him standing on the sideline with a clipboard," Herman said at the time.

On Saturday night, Postma entered the game in the third quarter. He took a bubble screen from quarterback Greg Ward Jr., made a move toward the sideline and ran for a 29-yard touchdown in the Cougars' 52-24 victory over Tennessee Tech.
